I think the tipper is the belief that the Chiefs would have an edge due to Pioli, Weis, Crennel, and Cassel having familiarity with Belichick and the Pats (not without merit). Also, I think people underestimate the Pats because they do it with guys with names like Danny Woodhead and Benjarvus Green-Ellis.
Pitt is an enigma, really. They seem to be a solid team, they have a great record, they won with and without the Rapist, their O-line isn't as good but the Rapist balances that out with his scrambling, they can run, they can throw, they can defend, they're well coached.... And yet, with all that, they won some games with underwhelming and unimpressive scores. They started off by beating Atlanta in Heinz, but by 15-9. They beat Tennessee, but by 19-11. They crushed Tampa, then lost to Baltimore by a FG (no shame there). Beat the Browns handily (28-10) but then eked out a one-point win over Miami, lost to the Saints by 10, beat the unimpressive Bengals by 6, got beaten at home by the Pats by 13 in a game that wasn't that close. Bounced back by crushing Oakland, then got pushed to the brink by the woeful Bills (winning by 3). Eked out a 3-point win over the Ravens (very good) and blew out Cincy, then lost to the Jets before blowing out the woeful Panthers and Browns.
